I've just returned from holiday yesterday and powered up my G5 iMac and external Maxtor drives to find that the one that I stored all of my photos on has died and Drive Genius can't fix it
Now, when I want home at lunch time, I find that the iMac won't wake up. Waggling the wired mouse does nothing and pressing keys on the wireless keyboard does nothing either (I noticed the caps lock light didn't come on either which puzzles me)
last time this happened I powered the computer off and then turned it back on, only to find that I'd upset the file system and had to faff around with an archive and install
Any idea what I can do to wake a reluctant iMac?
Cheers
Mike
